"Ah! Young Master Qingchen has arrived!" a female student from Canglan Academy next door couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.
Miao Ruoxin had seen Mu Qingchen up close at the Duke Residence and wasn’t as excited as they were. She glanced unintentionally at the Duke and found that he seemed quite excited!
His fingers resting on the armrest trembled slightly, and the hollow look in his eyes seemed to regain brightness instantly.
This was the third match.
The Duke hadn’t reacted like this in the first two.
In the past, she wouldn’t have inquired about anything beyond healing, but times had changed. Her status in the Duke’s household was rising and might even become higher in the future.
Naturally, her confidence had grown compared to before.
She turned her head and looked at the couple on another seat, Mr. and Mrs. Jing Er, and asked, "Mr. Jing Er, Mrs. Jing Er, is Young Master Qingchen an old acquaintance of the Duke?"
Of course, he was an old acquaintance. Otherwise, Mu Qingchen wouldn’t have brought a doctor over to treat the Duke.
The reason why Miao Ruoxin asked this was to learn more about the two of them.
There was nothing wrong with revealing this.
Mr. Jing Er said, "When Yinyin was young, my older brother took her to live at Yunxue Villa for a while. Mu Qingchen just so happened to live in the neighboring manor. It was my older brother who taught Mu Qingchen his calligraphy."
"I see," Miao Ruoxin nodded.
No wonder the Duke had such a reaction upon seeing Mu Qingchen; he probably regarded Mu Qingchen as his proud protege.
Miao Ruoxin couldn’t help but look at Mu Qingchen again, and just then, Gu Jiao rode her horse from behind, allowing Miao Ruoxin to clearly see her face!
"How is it him?"
Miao Ruoxin looked incredulously at Mr. Jing Er, "Mr. Jing Er, didn’t you tell me that you had inflicted serious injuries on him, leaving him bedridden, and even paid 500 taels of silver as compensation? Look at him now! Does he look like he’s ever been hurt?"
Mr. Jing Er was instantly choked up.
Shit, I forgot about that.
